>>>Try this. Go to www.google.ca. Notice how the textbox and buttons look "new" (read XP style). Right click to View Source. Save it with htm extension. Paste it into your code's TEXT...ENDTEXT block. Run the code. I now see "old" looking buttons and textbox (read 3D). The only difference I can see is that the HTML is now rendered via the web browser control in VFP.

>>>Also notice how this site has "new" looking controls. Check out the dropdown list in the toolbar area across the top (beside the help icon) and the one in the left side menu area.

I think so. Under XP the last version I have is Shell.Explorer.2
